Sinn Féin - On Your Side

More Fine Gael-led chaos? No thanks! – Adams

Speaking at the launch of Louth Sinn Féin’s general election
campaign in Drogheda this evening, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD has said
the upcoming election boils down to a straight choice between two very
different visions for Irish society - “a choice between a Fine Gael-led
government which will continue their policies of unfairness and inequality, or
a Sinn Féin-led government that are committed to a recovery for all citizens”.

Teachta Adams said:

“The current Fine Gael-led government has presided over an
unprecedented housing and homelessness crisis, chaos in our hospitals,
increased taxes on struggling families and workers, regressive budgets, the
dismantling of vital public services and the abandonment of rural communities.

“Going into the upcoming election, Fine Gael are advocating
a return to the very same 'boom and bust' policies espoused by Fianna Fáil that
caused the collapse of the economy in the first instance.

“The election will boil down to a choice between two very
different visions for Irish society. It is a choice between a Fine Gael-led
government which will continue their policies of unfairness and inequality, or
a Sinn Féin-led government that are committed to a recovery for all citizens.

“A Sinn Féin-led government will end water charges and scrap
the family home tax. We will ensure the economy serves society, not the other
way around. We will prioritise investment in jobs and public services and build
a fair tax system to sustain a more equal society.

“Unlike Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil or the Labour Party, Sinn
Féin has a vision, grounded in Republican values. We are the only party that
can lead a government to transform the political, social and economic life of
citizens and build a better, fairer Ireland.”

Cllr. Imelda Munster, also standing for Sinn Féin in the
Louth constituency, continued:

“The upcoming election is a choice between the
failed politics of conservative parties who have ruled the state since
partition, or a genuine Republican alternative that offers the prospect of
radical political change.”
